What to put a Jaguar AJ16 engine into....

[300bhp/ton]

I'm looking for ideas, not silly cost wise ones.

But what do you guys reckon would be a good kit to use a 4.0 litre straight 6 Jaguar engine in?

I've got rather a hankering to put one of these engines in something. Not for any real sensible reason, I just happen to like the engine and would love to make use of one in a lighter car than a XJ6.

Would any of the smallish Caterham-likes take a straight 6 or if not, maybe something a kit a bit bigger? Thinking 2 seater, open top and under 1000kg.

I know it's not the greatest engine in the world, but its a tad different, smooth, sounds fab and fairly tunable. 240bhp stock and plenty of grunt, might look at fitting a Eaton M90/112 blower to it also.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Are there any Austin Healey replica's? I remember seeing some a few years back at the kit car show. They looked a little modernised but retained the classic lines.
